million of people with at least one cell phone with camera and they only have one picture of lens flare to show-- not saying that it did not happen-- but that pic is a lens flare..in south east asia every body has a phone some even 2. where were the journalists with the expensive cameras? i have seen plenty of pictures of the sun taken by professional photographers and there is no flares like a cheap camera. the planet-- not UFO as the nibtards claimed, could not just pop in and out so that these prof photographers did not have a chance to run in and grab their cameras.
